A Sarahsville man was treated at Southeastern Med early this morning for stab wounds he reportedly sustained during an altercation with another man at a location along Route 660, approximately one mile west of Route 209.

The unidentified 25-year-old man was treated at the hospital and later released, according to a hospital spokesperson. The mans identity is being withheld pending the completion of an investigation by the Guernsey County Sheriffs Office.

We are investigating an assault that took place on Route 660 near the airport involving two subjects, Sheriff Mike McCauley said. One of the individuals involved came to the (sheriffs office) lobby to report that he was assaulted, and the other subject was treated at the hospital for multiple stab wounds.

It appears they planned to meet at that location to fight, and one of the men brought a knife, McCauley said.

The altercation reportedly took place at approximately 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

McCauley reported the man who came to the sheriffs department is the man alleged to have stabbed the other man. He remained in the custody of the sheriffs office.

The identity of the man at the sheriffs office is also being withheld pending the outcome of the investigation.

According to a sheriffs report, the man at the sheriffs office reported he was struck in the head by the other man, at which time both men fell to the ground.

At that point, he advised his girlfriend brought him to the sheriffs office to file the report.

Statements were taken from the victim in the hospital, as well as the other mans girlfriend, another male subject and a juvenile female, all of whom were reportedly at the location on Route 209 when the altercation took place.
